Another of the first batch of Alexander bodied Olympians transferred from Oxford 233 (G233VWL).
It is a regular performer on the short working on the 239 from Wycombe to Marlow, returning to base
on a school contract. It is seen here on the start of that journey on a snowy morning in Marlow.

Another Oxford refugee, but this time one which has kept its dual door status - and its Oxford area
advertisement!

After the little, the large! A unique vehicle was transferred form Oxford to Wycombe. 999 was a Leyland export demonstration
model. It originally had full depth sliding windows and was refitted before entering service with Oxford
on Park & Ride services. Other Olympians transferred to Wycombe have been coverted to dual door, but
this long wheel base bus has not yet been done. It was also unique at Wycombe in being highbridge - though
it was later joined by some Titans. It is not known when Wycombe bus - or Thames Valley, its
predecessor - last operated highbridge vehicles in the town. The vehicle has been restored to Oxford
fleetnames and presented to the Oxford Bus Museum.
